Abstract

Die Anzeige von Zustandsinformationen auf einem Hörgerät soll verbessert werden. Hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass die Anzeigeeinrichtung (A) auf dem Gehäuse eines Hörgeräts (I) als elektrophoretische Anzeige ausgestaltet ist. Diese ist sehr flexibel und dünn und kann daher in beliebiger Form an nahezu beliebigen Stellen des Hörgeräts aufgebracht werden. Darüber hinaus benötigt die elektrophoretische Anzeige (A) nur zur Änderung der dargestellten Information Energie. Somit lässt sich der Energieverbrauch für eine Hörgeräteanzeige deutlich reduzieren.

The display of status information on a hearing aid is to be improved. For this purpose, it is provided that the display device (A) on the housing of a hearing aid (I) is designed as an electrophoretic display. This is very flexible and thin and can therefore be applied in any form at almost any point on the hearing aid. In addition, the electrophoretic display (A) only needs energy to change the information presented. Thus, the energy consumption for a hearing aid display can be significantly reduced.
